[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjobanion:
Quick question - - are you using any kind of redirector to try to get into recovery? (IE: Rom Manager or QuickBoot)

I know that a lot of issues with CWM after EB13 flashes are because something in the kernels "breaks" the re-director.

Have you tried doing the "3-finger death grip"? I'm still not able to use an outside program to get into a working recovery. I can get into the situation that you guys are talking about, but not a working CWM 3.x. However, using the 3-finger approach, CWM 3 comes up and sees my card and everything is fine.

I am fine doing it this way until I can research the forum a little to see if their is a stable/permenant fix.

Hope this helps!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I spent a while looking for a blue theme yesterday and didnt find anything in here, so I moved to other forums and found the beautiful MattedBlues theme. I decided to port it even though it was for cm. It came out pretty nice, but I left the notification bar black since a gradient on the notification bar came out really low quality. I'm willing to update this and encourage you guys to find things to change. I packaged this in metamorph so it would be really simple to install, but if you're new to it, i'll give a short tutorial below. There's also an cwm zip for kb1 and cog now.

SCREENSHOTS:

I only themed the framework-res and twframework-res, and metamorph only changes the included files, so all of your prescious lock screens are safe :D

Morph for JPY/JS7:

Morph for KB1/Cognition 4.1:

Flashable zip for KB1/Cog:

Flashable zip for Cog with boot and shutdown anims included:

I ALSO made accompanying boot and shutdown animations. It's just a blue version of the ones in serendipity, but I think it adds a nice touch :)

Thanks to jabbawalkee for the great theme and MikeyMike for the awesome rom!

Tutorials

HOW TO INSTALL THEME:

Install metamorph (I think you need busybox too, so install that if you don't have it)

Download zip file

Move to SD card

open metamorph (press start checks)

press unzip/extract new theme

select zip and press close on window that pops up

press apply all and continue

WHEN IT PROMPTS YOU TO REBOOT, SAY NO. (you can, but then you have to repeat this process)

press pick existing theme and press BlueGB

Press blueGB.xml and then close on window

Apply all, continue, blah blah blah, when it prompts you to reboot the 2nd time say yes.

I think I read in a swype theme thread that you should always apply themes twice with metamorph. I ran into this when I was testing it and had to apply the theme twice to get it to work, so just do it to be safe.

HOW TO INSTALL BOOT ANIMATION:

1) Download the free app "Boot Animation Changer LITE" from the market

2) Plug phone into computer and turn on USB storage

3) Go to bootanims/stock

4) Replace bootanimation.zip with the one in the OP

5) Turn off USB storage

6) Allow su permissions, click on animations, scroll to STOCK, and press "Change to boot animation"

7) Let it do it's thing and restart. You should have the new boot animation! :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Loggik:
This looks awesome! Will be using this for a while ;)

Also, why did the title bar look like a bad resolution? How did you uncompress/recompress it?

Be sure to not use any compression at all... just put it in a zip file with no compression, otherwise it will make your images look bad...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
EDIT EDIT: Still didn't work :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Can someone make a KB1 compatable version?

with no clock !!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Man that's weird, looks bad without compression but with compression it looks a bit better... I'll mess around with this for a while, you can try it (just another morph to put on top) here if you'd like. As for KB1, could you do a nandroid backup and test it? AFAIK (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG) it should work for most of it, and extra files in the framework shouldn't get it stuck on a bootloop. If you tell me what's not themed, I can try to fix it.

EDIT: Oh, and comparison

WITH COMPRESSION

WITHOUT
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Minced:
Is there a way I can edit this myself to make my serendipity orb unlock match?

Thanks for porting this beautiful theme *tear*
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Well, the images would be simple enough to recolour:

http://i.imgur.com/IlPTA.png

But then you have the day of the week coloured... that I don't know about.

Oh and it's red because redrom was easier to dl :P

EDIT: Almost update? I still need to fix the toggle things.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
running this on uckb1. the toggles are off a little (mixed between old and new tw-framework), and whenever you have five bars of reception, it reverts back to white signal bars (serendipity is based on an i9000 framework, i believe, which only has four signal status bars).

i'd like to see this for uckb1 completely, but it does give me a solid black status bar, for which i'm eternally grateful. thanks much :)

EDIT: for boot and shutdown animations ... bootanimation.zip goes into /system/media, intact (use root explorer. your quality of life will quadruple after buying this app). shutdown.zip gets extracted; take the folder inside (shutdown) and put in /system/media/video. again, use root explorer.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Minced:
Haha already running redrom, but just put yours over it. The red was glaring into my retinas.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ragincajun713:
Hoping this will work nicely with my new cog 4.1, first time I flashed so I'm trying to customize it and get further away from samsung's stock
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Can you guys on kb1 post screenshots of the toggle icons and other things that aren't working? Also, I think I'm almost done with v1.1 with the semi-transparent notification menu and maybe some additional app theming, but since some of you like the black statusbar, i'll leave the original up too. I'd love to get this working on kb1 :D I'll look into the blue orb screen and do the best I can.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
hopefully that's clear enough. wifi, bluetooth, and gps are on, silent and auto-rotation aren't. the notification background is stock.

thanks for the effort - just my two cents, but i'd love a transparent notification drawer background with black status bar.

edit: the battery icon reverts to touchwiz animation while charging.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Could you try this? It should give you the transparent notification menu. As for the toggle icons, I know exactly what's wrong but it may take a little extra time to finish because I'm going to use different icons (without the little bar thing).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
This works..except the toggle buttons still have the mismatched toggles
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
what he said ^ … also, here's what i was talking about with the signal bars going back to white touchwiz.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Would you be ok if I just made 4 bars show up as 3 and 5 show up as 4? That's the simplest solution I can think of. I'll try to fix the battery thing right now, too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
i think that's what most themers have been doing, or some variation on this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Try this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
works - before and after:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] finalrequiem:
I really wanted to try and make this work on Twingerbread (3.1) but, yeah, way over my head. There is a lot more than I realized that wasn't themed, after applying the theme. Oh well. Good job, it's sexy and if I ever run a rom that this works on, it'll be the first thing I do.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Darksider94:
Hey. I really want to try this out(I'm on Serendipity 5.12, so it should work), but just in case I don't like it on my phone, how would i go about reverting back to before I put the theme on?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Thanks! If I have enough time over the weekend maybe I'll try to check it out :)

I got this from the glowen thread, works perfectly :D

EDIT: Can someone post a screenshot of the transparent notification menu from a page back?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steviusthedevious:
here ya go
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ri3tn:
Any idea when this would be ready for Cognition 4.1.1?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] finalrequiem:
Awesome. No worries either way but I'll definitely keep my eyes out for it!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Everything but the toggle icons should be working on cog. I haven't had any time this week but those should definitely be done by the weekend.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Darksider94:
PERFECT! Thank you! I'm gonna try the theme now :)

Edit: Well, i installed it, but there was still a lot that was green. I'll post my screenshots when i upload them. Currently flashing back to my green gingerbread just so that it's not a mash of different colors, lol. I'm looking forward to future updates to this :)

Edit2: Pics added. As you can see, the launcher still is green and the system icons like messaging and such are still green.

The drop down on the other hand morphed perfectly :)

Do you think that it has anything to do with me being on 5.12 and this was first tested on 5.11(Although, i don't see how much of a difference that can make, lol)?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Everything is working :D I haven't themed any apps yet, but definitely something I should add in a future release (and MUCH easier to do). I already have a blue market, and I could try to have an update including some other major apps by tomorrow.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Darksider94:
Is the gingerbread launcher still supposed to be green like that tho?

Sent from my Serendipity filled Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Yeah, the launcher is an app, I just themed the system framework.

Note on theme progress: I'm on cyanogenmod right now and I just reformatted my comp's hard drive. Hp's garbage is taking quite a while to set everything up and I'm hoping I wont have to do it again. I should be back up and running by Saturday. Even though I'm on CM right now, I don't think I'm going to bother porting the theme for it yet. There's already mattedblues for the nexus s and this is a bit too buggy for me to work on.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Darksider94:
No problem. Take as long as you need to get yourself set back up. :)

Btw, about the boot animations, does anyone know where i can find a revert for the original serendipity boot animations so that i can switch between this blue one and the green one. thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Just wanted to say thanks for this theme! I've installed successfully on Cog 4.1.1 (the main theme and the KB1 fix, don't want the transparent bar) and so far looks great. Just the same issue with the toggle buttons, but I saw that when you get some time you'll get to it, so no worries!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Thanks for using it! :D I've actually been back up since friday, but I had flashed cm7 and fell in love. I ported the theme for it from the nexus s port and everything is running great (I used to have random shutdowns, not anymore!). I'm still planning on finishing this, but I'm thinking of the best way to do it. I can't remove the text from below the toggle icons, so what I think I want to do is just add the unpressed serendipity ones to the morph and change the background to a darker color (if I can find the image). Also, I just realized that it still uses the twiz pulldown bar and background. Would you guys like for me to change that to gb?

EDIT: Ok, this should work [LINK] but it might not, so it might be safe to have a kb1 theme to flash to if you get a bootloop (if there are any).

ALSO, @Darksider the original bootanimation.zip is inside the serendipity rom file in system/media
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
I just installed the latest update and the taskbar looks really nice now! the toggle buttons are all fixed. nice work!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] stewtang:
Nice effort, looks good
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Thanks :)

Would you mind posting a screenshot of it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] troyr:
Here you go...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Sure thing! (First attachment)

On a minor (very minor) note -- it seems like for some reason, when trying to lock GPS, it flashes back and forth between the old white icon and the new blue one in the notification bar before it settles on the new one (locked). Also, the USB connected/debugging seem to be the old white ones as well and I noticed in other screenshots that maybe those are new too? Either way, like I mentioned, very very minor - but I just took a screencap since I was at it for the other one :) (Second attachment)

Bottom line though -- this theme is great! Thanks so much!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] suua:
Dose this work with GT -9000??? I can i flash this a o internacional Galaxy running 2.2.1 Doc Rom?

Btw the theme looks clean and awsome :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Those should be pretty easy fixes. Since I had originally done this for serendipity, all of the gray icons were already included within the rom so I didn't bother adding them. An update should be up later to fix those, thanks for pointing that out :)

It's JPY based so it should work perfectly. As long as you already have a gb theme on it everything should match great.

EDIT: Ok, another kb1 fix is done. Hoping this works so I can put them all into one package instead of having 20 things to morph to get everything working :p [LINK]
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Just some quick feedback on the latest KB1 fix. The debugging is now the correct icon, but I think the USB connected is still the old as well as the SD card scanning (attached screenshot) :D

Appreciate all the effort on getting this added, since it's really one of the only themes usable on Cog 4.1!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I forgot about the scanning icon, actually in MediaProvider.apk instead of the framework and the usb icon... I forgot to drag it in. oops :D

Ok, I hope this fixes everything
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Looks good! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Awesome! Updated OP with all of the fixes in one morph and cleaned it up a bit :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alex8683:
metamorph issue?

Thnikk,

How long does metamorph take apply the theme? It's been like 30 minutes on the "please wait. Applying framework-res.apk theme 1of 3 screen" dont know if something went wrong. Should I reboot or something.

Thanks in advance.

Running cog4.1.1

:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
If it's taking too long you should just be able to exit out of the app and try again (if it was working, you would have gotten a reboot). A reboot after closing the app probably wouldn't hurt. Sorry for taking so long to respond :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alex8683:
thanks for responding.

I'm not getting past that screen for whatever reason. I followed your installation steps.

Is there another way to install the theme?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Could you try (instead of pressing apply all) applying the individual subthemes and save the framework-res for last? I could try to make a flashable version of it, but probably not until this weekend D:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alex8683:
Didn't work. Got into a force close loop. Thanks.

I'll be looking out for the flashable version. Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alex8683:
Actually after I rebooted I noticed that scroll down screen where you see the GPS, Wi-fi, auto-rotate, etc. changed. But nothing else.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Yeah, you're supposed to get fcs and then you have to reboot (you can just hold vol up+power). The twframework-res is responsible for changing the toggle icons, so I'm assuming that's what you applied. The framework-res should change all of the statusbar icons and system stuff (that one usually fcs and causes a reboot).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] itdiestoday:
Just morphed. Currently n Cog 4.1.1. Not sure if after reboot it fixed it but phone was showing original battery icon during charge animations. It would be blue then show stock then back to blue. Looks to be good now. Will find out tomorrow.

Thanks for the port. Looks much better.

Sent from Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Would it change from blue to green while it's charging? Or does all of it charge green?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
I am loving the new notification icons!

However I am having a horrible time with the boot/shutdown animations... I see the stock files using "droid explorer" but they must be read only or something because I cannot get the new files copied.

I paid for the ap you suggested, "root explorer" and used it to add write permissions. I got the boot animation copied (i just copied the zip into the system/media folder). The boot animation ap lets me select STOCK but upon reboot it is not using the new animation. Any ideas? Also, I have not been able to overwrite the stock "shutdown" folder with the new one. Is there some trick to that?

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Oh, if you're using the boot animation changer, you move it to the bootanims/stock folder on your SD card and replace that bootanimation.zip, then say you want to use the stock one and it should work. Root explorer is for the shutdown animation. I could try to make a video explaining this tomorrow (typing it out is really awkward) and I apologize if I wasn't very clear with the directions.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
A video would be great! I am on KB1 if that matters.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] itdiestoday:
Well stock cog is literally the big white/blue icon. But it would be blue then change to stock then back to blue. I'd like to say it was right around the 76% mark but that's all speculation. Ill know for sure today.

Sent from Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I'll look into this later. Things like this should be really easy to notice when I'm making it a cwm flashable zip (which I plan on starting today and finishing by the weekend).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] itdiestoday:
Currently watching it charge and it is shwing the same issue. Not really a big deal. Seems to be about 76 percent or so when it happens. Just giving you a heads up. Charging from less than 20 percent.

Sent from Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Oops, I was missing a file :p I made a fix, and hopefully this will be easier...

CWM flashable zip!(Cog 4.1.1)

And of course I have to fix the serendipity version now :D

EDIT: Also, if it doesn't work it might be a good idea to have the revert from this thread. But I'm guessing that it will either work fine, or it won't work at all. There shouldn't be any boot loops.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
Will the Cog CWM file work with AT&T 2.2?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
Any more on this?

I got the notification icons and the toggles working. I still cannot figure out the boot/shutdown animations.

I am on AT&T 2.2 + root + SuperCurio's KB1 Kernel + CWM Recovery

\

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Awesome, so the kb1 version is working on non-cog roms? I think I'm just going to add the bootanim and shutdown anim into the .zip :p

Edit: This should change your shutdown and boot animations. I don't think you can actually change the bootanim in it though, nor do I know the repercussions of attempting to change it, but if it doesn't work, there shouldn't be any bootloops or anything. You

should

be fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
I am thinking I may have to deodex the stock ROM to get this stuff to fully work. (I will probably just go to Cog4.1.1 - pushing the stock ROM as far as it can go has been fun, but deodexing is more involved and will probably take longer than just flashing to Cog4.1.1!)

BTW. How did you get your clock to look like that? Is that the pay version of fancy widget?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brendanmurphy:
Can you update for serendipity 6.2 with the shortcuts on in the notification bar? I installed it and it worked but nothing on the notification bar
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Apply theme again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jastx:
I love the look of this theme. Will it work on Serendipity 6.2 or can you (PLEASE) port it?

Thanks!

EDIT, sorry posted from the beginning of the thread. I see now 6.2 is already being discussed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
It works for 6.2
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jastx:
Fantastic!

So nothing gets screwed up in my install, would you please confirm the optimum files and procedure to use for Serendipity 6.2?

I'm excited about this -- very cool theme!!

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Sorry everyone, I've been pretty busy lately and haven't had the time to look into getting this to work on JS7, but from what I hear, everything works fine? Procedure should be the same as in the 2nd post, apply twice and instead of applying all, it might be better to do them individually and save the framework-res for last.

Glad to hear you all like it and please report any problems you have :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Yup, it's fully working for me.

Thanks, edited OP :D

Has anyone tried the kb1 cwm zip with the boot and shutdown animations from a page back? I don't think it changes the boot and shudown on stock kb1, but has it worked for anyone on cog?

Edit: This one [with boot and shutdown animations]
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jastx:
I really like the two screen shots below from this thread. Am I able to create screens like these with this theme? Or are there other elements I need to do that? If I need more apps, widgets, wallpapers, whatever...what are they and where are they available, so that I can create these screens?

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
For the first one (mine), you'll need this clock widget, launcherpro, a blank icon, and the dock. Icon and dock are here. As for the other one, you might want to PM the guy :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
I am going to try that right now actually...

Notifications seem are themed, boot/shutdown animations, however, are unchanged...

This is on deodexed KB1 at&t froyo
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jastx:
Thanks Thnikk! I tried creating one from Make Your Clock from Market. Came out OK but couldn't get the size I wanted. Going for the minimalist approach on my homescreen. This is with Zeam Launcher.

I'll try again with the bluebobclock app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Ok, that's what I thought would happen. I don't think KB1 supports bootanimation.zip, so I don't think it'll ever work, sorry D: Stock booot and shutdown anims are still pretty cool though, right? :p

I know they're not in the thread anymore, but I kept the green and blue ones if you want them :)
